Greetings and Welcome to the 7th AKKA World Kannada Conference. We are delighted to host you along with your families to celebrate this spectacular event in Atlanta. Welcome to this event where you will meet old friends and make new friends and relationships.
The theme of our event is “Bird’s eye view of Karnataka’s Rich heritage, Language, Art and Culture”. We believe that we have striven to ensure that all of our events reflect this theme closely. We believe our strong program lineup in our Cultural, CME, Business Forum, Women’s forum, Spirituality, Literary and Youth forums will entertain and educate you through the three days of the event.
On behalf of AKKA Board of Trustees and Conference Committees, we invite you to relax and enjoy our hospitality. We appreciate your patience during busy times in the event. Please use this guide to guide you through the various exciting programs happening in the various halls around the Georgia International Convention Center.
We thank all artists, literature stars from here and India who have travelled a long distance to entertain and educate us in this event. On behalf of the event organizers, we sincerely appreciate the hard work of all volunteers across the world that has helped in the organization for this event. We appreciate our sponsors providing the financial support for running a big event. Please support our International exhibitors who have come from all parts of this country and India.
This event Program Guide would not have been possible without the amazing help and support from all Committees working to make this event successful. Thanks to AKKA Publicity and Jagali team for ensuring publicity for the event. Special Thanks goes to Sri. Haridas Lahari who has helped our event continuously through the last 8 months using his great talent to create amazing event posters and also the design for both Chiguru and Tutturi magazines for this event. The Atlanta teams owe a lot to Jyotshna Hegde who has worked tirelessly to ensure we have continuous publicity everywhere with minimal budget.
Thank you again for being with us and making the 6th AKKA conference a memorable one.
